Chapter 191 Water Contract
Li Jiawen thought Li Jian was angry, so she lifted the blanket and prepared to chase after him.
But as soon as his feet touched the ground, his legs went weak and he fell directly to the floor.
Why did you get out of bed?
Li Jian returned, carrying a copper basin in his hand.
Seeing Li Jiawen fall, Li Jian quickly squatted down and picked her up.
Because she was at home and had a high fever, Li Jiawen was only wearing a short pink suspender dress, the hem of which barely covered her thighs.
Two jade-like arms were exposed to the air.
Li Jian felt like he was hugging a giant fireball; it was unbearably hot.
Li Jiawen said somewhat embarrassedly, "I thought you were angry."
Li Jian tucked her back into bed, then threw a white towel into the water and wrung it out.
"A fever needs to be cooled down physically. Here, wipe your body down!"
Li Jian handed the towel to Li Jiawen and then prepared to go outside the bedroom.
Li Jiawen hesitated to take the towel. She huddled under the covers and said timidly, "I don't have the strength, I don't need it."
Without waiting for a reply, Li Jian pulled back the covers: "No, we have to bring your temperature down first, otherwise you'll have to go to the hospital for an injection."
"Ok."
Li Jiawen, who was terrified of injections, had no choice but to accept physical cooling methods.
However, she suggested that Li Jian provide the service.
Li Jian sighed helplessly and said, "I must have owed you something in my past life, Miss. Lie down properly, or I can't guarantee what might happen."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiawen blushed deeply.
"You wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress, would you?"
Li Jian looked at the frail and slender Li Jiawen and sneered, "Why would I need to take advantage of someone in distress? I'm a gentleman, Jiawen, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Li Jiawen smiled upon hearing this.
She knew Li Jian better than anyone else what kind of person he was.
If he wanted to do something, he would have done it already, and that time the whole room was explored.
Li Jian pulled the blanket from the bed over to cover Li Jiawen.
Li Jiawen felt both happy and disappointed. She opened her beautiful eyes, which were filled with deep confusion.
Li Jian said with a wry smile, "I can just lift the blanket and put the towel inside, so I don't get lustful."
Li Jiawen couldn't help but chuckle.
"He claims to be a virtuous gentleman. Would a virtuous gentleman be lustful at the sight of a beautiful woman?"
Li Jian reached the towel under the covers and began to wipe blindly: "Judging by actions, not intentions, no one is perfect. Even a gentleman, as long as he's not a eunuch, would be tempted by a beauty like Jiawen, okay?"
Li Jian's explanation left Li Jiawen speechless.
She spat lightly, then lay down, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead.
And you know what? This physical cooling method is remarkably effective.
After Li Jian changed the water twice, he could clearly feel that Li Jiawen's temperature was no longer so high.
The thermometer was removed, and the body temperature had dropped to around 38 degrees Celsius.
Li Jiawen's charming face is like a red Christmas apple, making people want to take a bite.
"Jiawen?"
"Mmm." Hearing Li Jian's words, Li Jiawen's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Li Jian said, "Actually, my family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations. We have folk remedies for fever and colds. In addition to physical cooling, we can also use chemical cooling."
Li Jiawen took it seriously and asked, "What chemical cooling? I've never heard of it."
Li Jian chuckled and said, "I've never tried this before either. Today I'll show you."
Done.
Li Jiawen felt as if a huge mountain had fallen from the sky and pressed her down under the Five Elements Mountain.
. . . . . .
the next morning.
"Jiawen, wake up!"
Li Jian had prepared breakfast early in the morning, but Li Jiawen was still lying lazily in bed, covering her head with the blanket and pretending to be dead.
This is the first time a man other than Kao Tsung-yang has spent the night at his home.
Not knowing how to face Li Jian, Li Jiawen could only choose the most foolish method.
Li Jian sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to grab a corner of the blanket, wanting to release the mythical beast inside.
Ok?
The blanket seemed to be welded to Li Jiawen's head, and she couldn't pull it off.
Li Jian laughed and carried Li Jiawen, along with the blanket, out of the house.
Li Jiawen was terrified, clutching the blanket with one hand and Li Jian's clothes with the other.
I'm afraid the blanket will fall off, and I'm also afraid I'll fall off myself.
Seeing the other person's ostrich-like behavior of burying their head in the sand, Li Jian said with a meaningful smile, "Jiawen, are you sure you want to eat breakfast like this?"
Li Jiawen then poked her head out from under the covers, glaring at Li Jian with displeasure, and said, "You're so mean! You just like to bully me. I'm a patient!"
"What kind of patient is this? The fever has already subsided."
Li Jian reached out and touched Li Jiawen's forehead. "A traditional Chinese medicine doctor with five generations of single lineage, effective with just one needle!"
"Pooh!"
Li Jiawen, recalling the treatment the other party had mentioned, couldn't help but spit out, "You just know how to bully people! What kind of old Chinese medicine doctor? I don't believe your nonsense!"
Li Jian gently pinched Li Jiawen's earlobe and said, "Tell me, isn't it effective?"
Li Jiawen was speechless.
I don't know how it happened, but after receiving chemotherapy from Li Jian, I broke out in a sweat.
The fever subsided quickly.
Li Jiawen struggled to get out of bed, but Li Jian held her tightly: "It's good that you're sick. You can't move around too much. If you catch a chill, you'll get even sicker, and you'll really have to go to the hospital for a shot."
"what?"
Li Jiawen was startled and quickly stopped struggling.
Compared to injections at the hospital, Li Jiawen is more accepting of Li Jian's treatment.
Although the treatment was not legitimate.
"Open your mouth!"
Li Jian fed Li Jiawen a spoonful of plain porridge.
Li Jiawen opened her phoenix eyes and looked at Li Jian with a reproach. Seeing Li Jiawen's charming eyes and her rosy lips, Li Jian gently put the spoon into Li Jiawen's mouth.
Slurp—slurp—slurp—
Because of a cold and fever, Li Jiawen hasn't eaten or drunk anything since yesterday.
Now that she was tasting the sweet rice porridge, Li Jiawen began to swallow it in large gulps.
Li Jian almost couldn't keep up with the speed at which he fed her.
"Jiawen, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
This time, Li Jiawen refused, giving her a disdainful look and saying with a charming and coquettish air, "Just practice cooking more. Put me down, I'll eat by myself."
Li Jian nodded and released Li Jiawen's waist.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly losing her support, Li Jiawen almost slid off Li Jian's lap.
Fortunately, Li Jian reacted quickly and caught her in time.
Li Jiawen frowned slightly, her mouth wide open, her phoenix eyes staring blankly at Li Jian, her body trembling and convulsing incessantly.
Her jade-like feet, which were exposed outside the cup, began to curl up.
"what happened?"
Li Jian was confused and thought Li Jiawen had gone crazy.
Li Jiawen rolled her eyes and gripped Li Jian's arm tightly with both hands: "No, it's nothing, I ate too fast and got bumped."
After a while.
Li Jiawen gently shoved Li Jian and said weakly, "I'm going to change my clothes."
Li Jian was about to say something more.
Li Jiawen pushed him away forcefully, slowly stood up, and glared at Li Jian with her phoenix eyes: "You were all sweaty yesterday, you need to go take a shower."
Li Jian chuckled and said, "How about we conserve water resources for Hong Kong Island?"
Li Jiawen rolled her eyes at him: "Oh no!"
"Oh dear, saving water is everyone's responsibility."
Li Jian said with a grin.
